Introduction

Luis Gonzalez, the Manager of Global Customer Advocacy at Alteryx, leads a dynamic customer advocacy program aimed at fostering engagement and loyalty among Alteryx's global customer base. Facing the challenge of reviving stagnant onboarding stories and nurturing a vast network of advocates, Luis sought a comprehensive solution to automate reference management, streamline advocacy efforts, and provide engaging nurture campaigns. Leveraging Base, Alteryx's innovative customer marketing platform, Luis transformed the customer advocacy landscape, driving increased engagement and impactful outcomes. 

Business Challenge and Solution

Alteryx faced two significant challenges in its customer advocacy initiatives:

• Stagnant Onboarding Stories: The HR and onboarding team at Alteryx sought to rejuvenate their onboarding process by revitalizing outdated stories shared with new associates.

• Manual Advocacy Management: The existing process relied heavily on manual efforts, including Excel spreadsheets and emails, to manage customer references and advocacy initiatives, hindering scalability and effectiveness.

Luis recognized the potential of Base as a transformative solution for Alteryx's customer advocacy efforts. By leveraging Base's comprehensive functionality, Alteryx achieved the following:

• Automated Reference Management: Base enabled Alteryx to automate reference management processes, empowering the team to efficiently identify and engage advocates at scale with just one click.

• Centralized Advocacy Platform: Base provided a centralized platform for managing advocacy activities, allowing Alteryx to nurture advocates across various regions and time zones seamlessly.
